BlueOvalBruin Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Are you all removing the rib before you bend the barrel? I would imagine the rib would also get too in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 reading this thread got me thinking. if it doesn't take much of a blow to change to POA/POI, i'm wondering what the chances are to do the same thing while dumping shotguns under the clock in multi gun? i've witnessed some pretty aggressive dumping...just a thought.

Jesse Tischauser Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Jesse-you sureyou used the proper tree? Bennie sez it's gotta be a poplar or red oak. That was the third one I tried. I started with a little sapling that gave a lot. Next up is some hard wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonk_jasonk Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm picking up some slugs this weekend to pattern the new JM 930, I'm hoping it's off a little just so I have an excuse to beat it against a tree. Do I have to remove the barrel from the shotgun first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 What happened to the bag of shot???? Find a crotch in the tree and twist it ole boy. I don't have any shot but I had a 50 lb bag of grass seed. It was too soft much like the guy bending the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark carr Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I had a trap shooting buddy that had a piece of brass bar stock that just fit inside of his choke he would put the other end of the bar in a truck receiver hitch and adjust the impact of his perazzi it seemed to work he's helluva handicap shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do the same thing to my barrel, but I really wanted to see someone else beat their $500 benelli barrel against something first. I'm sold!

sbgruen Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Good thread. Anyone have suggestions on how to get the POI with slugs the same as the center of impact of the shot pattern? My shot patterns are off about a foot right and a foot high at 25 yards from the slug impacts. Thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Do you use the same choke for shot and slugs? It sounds like your choke tubes may not be concentric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Have you tried different shot and slugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Oh and we rarely shoot shot out to 25 yards. You might look closer at 10, 15, up to 20. 20 is pretty far actually. 17-18 is abou as far as most matches will make u use shot because a 20 gauge cylinder note gun won't knock over steel that far away and that is supposed to be the calibration gun.

ckell101 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Try two things first: 1.) try the shims that come with the shotgun. They work wonders. 2.) try a nordic clamp. It cleared up all my of issues. Just a thought. If you are dead set on bending it. Go for it! But I looked at barrel bending as a last resort. Your barrel though.

45shooter Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 We put them in a mill. One end in vice other on blocks and use mill head to push down on middle. It is crazy how much they flex before bending. Be sure to shoot a bunch of shot through them after bending. An older smith said when they heat up they may return alittle. Not sure if that is true or not.

sbgruen Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes I tried different slugs and shot. Using the IC tube that came with the gun. Might be worth while to try a different IC tube, maybe an extended tube. Not running a clamp on the extension but that might be worth trying also. Thanks for the suggestions I'll give them a try this weekend. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Jesse, where do come up with these pearls of wisdom? I have never in my life heard or read in any rule set that the "calibration" gun was a 20 gage with a cylinder choke....or lack of choke in this case. Help me out, where did this come from?
